Umami Burger making the leap up to San Francisco

Umami Burger has garnered a cult following in Los Angeles, and was just named GQ’s Burger of the Year. Now, with four Umami Burger outposts down south and a newcomer called Red Medicine under its belt, LA’s burger standout is taking the hop north.

More details — timeline, designer, etc. — will be unveiled on Scoop next week, but know that after scouting out the city for some time, Umami Burger’s first Bay Area location will be at 3242 Scott Street in the Marina’s old Noodle Theory space. Get excited.

March Update: Don’t hold your breath on that Scott Street location. Landlord issues have put it off indefinitely, but there are other locations in play. Stay tuned. All will be revealed, soon.
